I have the honor to request that I be allowed to join your command. Owing to the reduced number of my Company, there being present 1 Captain, 1 1st Li[e]ut 1 2nd Lieut, 3 non commissioned Officers and 9 privates Sick & for duty. My Company is composed of two companies consolidated.
I think under the existing circumstances of the case that my services can be of more benefit to the service in your command than in my present position.
Yours Respectfully
